Der Journalist Gabriele Nunziati hat der Europäischen Kommission die simple Frage gestellt, ob Israel für den Wiederaufbau von Gaza aufkommen muss, nachdem es alles zerstört hat - und dafür seinen Job verloren.
Er geht dagegen rechtlich vor, und wir stehen an seiner Seite.

⭕️ Rep. Ilhan Omar calls out Jerry Seinfeld’s “disgusting, disturbing, and downright dangerous" remarks:

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld, as he left Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday, declined to say “Free Palestine,” telling a streamer instead that Palestine “doesn’t exist.”

Rep. Omar pointed out what she viewed as a painful irony, saying that as a Jewish man whose people suffered through the Holocaust, Seinfeld should recognize the dangers of genocidal rhetoric aimed at wiping out or denying the existence of a whole group.

She described him as a "horrific human being" for dismissing the reality of the catastrophe in Gaza. “Be a human. Care about other people. And Palestinians do exist. They are real people. They are ethnic to the land in which they belong,” Omar said.

This is not the first time.

2023: UK passes the Online Safety Bill. Signal threatens to leave. Meta threatens to pull WhatsApp. the government backs down.

2026: same government, new prime minister, same bill, different name. Keir Starmer gives Apple and Google 3 months to scan every device in the country or face criminal charges against their executives.

Signal's president Meredith Whittaker, on the BBC, yesterday:

"we would absolutely 100% walk rather than ever undermine the trust that people place in us."

not a maybe. 100%.

UK government ministers use Signal.

civil servants use Signal.

law enforcement officers use Signal.

the people writing the law that would break encryption use the app whose encryption they are trying to break. for their own sensitive communications.

they want a backdoor in your Signal.

not theirs.

and one more thing. this doesn't stay in the UK. Australia already has encryption-weakening laws. the EU has been debating the same measures. the Five Eyes alliance has pushed for backdoors for years. France tried it last year. Sweden is next.

every country watching this fight will use the outcome to justify their own demands.

what happens in London doesn't stay in London.

When an official embassy issues a direct rebuttal, shouldn't viewers be told about the rebuttal or atleast both sides of the story?

Google Chrome 150 marks the end of full support for Manifest V2 extensions, effectively removing the remaining workarounds that allowed the original uBlock Origin to continue functioning in Chrome.

Starting with Chrome 150 (expected in late June 2026), Google will complete its transition from Manifest V2 to Manifest V3. This means the powerful webRequestBlocking API used by advanced extensions will no longer be available for normal Chrome extensions.

As a result, the original uBlock Origin will no longer work at full strength in Chrome. It relies on Manifest V2’s ability to inspect and block requests in real time.

Under Manifest V3, extensions must use declarativeNetRequest, which requires them to rely on predefined filtering rules instead of dynamic blocking. This improves security and performance according to Google, but it also limits what ad blockers can do, especially against complex ads and trackers on sites like YouTube.

The developer of uBlock Origin offers uBlock Origin Lite, a Manifest V3 version that still provides ad blocking but with the restrictions imposed by Chrome. Other ad blockers have also released Manifest V3 versions with similar limitations.

Users who want the full power of the original uBlock Origin can switch to Firefox, which continues to support Manifest V2 extensions, or use Brave, which includes built-in ad and tracker blocking.

Google has been gradually rolling out this change since 2024, and Chrome 150 marks the final step in that transition.

[Siddharth @svaradarajan]

On the day Narendra Modi celebrated a bogus landmark—and world leaders took advantage of his renowned and embarrassing susceptibility to flattery by getting staffers to draft tweets congratulating him—the US military killed three Indian sailors in a deliberate attack on a civilian ship.

Ships with Indian sailors were attacked the day before, and have been attacked again today.

This is the reality of the ‘comprehensive global strategic partnership’ with the US that Modi looks forward to working on—where the US does whatever it wants, including killing Indian nationals on the high seas or territorial waters of sovereign countries, or telling India whom it can and can’t buy oil from, and god knows what else, and Modi bows down and accepts it all.

You know what emboldened the US military? The fact that the previous day, it attacked a ship and placed 24 Indians in harm’s way and Modi’s officials were busy justifying the US action instead of condemning it.

Now that Indian soldiers have been killed, the MEA is going through the motions of summoning a US diplomat to protest but it knows full well that this is an empty gesture, meant to cover their tracks with the Indian public. The official MEA statement is unwilling to even name the country which killed the Indian sailors.

This is not the first time that Modi and @DrSJaishankar have behaved in such a craven fashion. When the Israeli military killed Col Waibhav Kale—a retired Indian Army officer working for the UN—in Gaza in 2024, there was no condemnation of this by the Modi government.

4400 days of ghulami, and counting.
